Fans of Burlington, Ontario’s Silverstein will no doubt still be celebrating the release of Friday’s brand new album, Dead Reflection, which has already seen enormous praise. To follow up that hype, we’re publishing our interview with Josh Bradford from the very soggy Mansfield, MA Warped Tour date. Josh and I had the opportunity to chat about ‘Dead Reflection’, the band’s success, the struggle of turning music into a career, advice for emerging artists (especially when it comes to social media), and getting back to their roots. Check out the video…

There’s no better way to start off your weekend than being introduced to some new tunes! And that’s exactly what we have for you today. Hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, dubé is a band of brothers gearing up to release their brand new EP OK on July 1st. “Bittersweet,” the second single from the forthcoming EP, is angsty and aggressive, while maintaining a level of maturity found in only the most seasoned vets. And when you discover they are all still only in their teens, their delivery and performance become even more impressive….

Canadian rock band, Arkells have released a new music video for their latest song,”Private School.” The track is the first single off the group’s upcoming album, Morning Report. “I just wanna love you, but it’s so hard,” Max Kerman sings, stumbling across the video set, which features the band hanging around a bunch of preppy private school teenagers. It’s kind of like a behind the scenes look at the making of Gossip Girl. The video feels like high school all over again and even features guest performances from Lights, Dave Monks of Tokyo Police…

Let’s talk about Canadian music for a moment. Many of us never get to hear some of the incredible music making waves in Canada, simply because it never breaks the US. We don’t know about it because we don’t live there, and we don’t know enough to listen to some of the incredible stations (like Indie 88—indie lovers get on that stream ASAP!) or to tune in to some of the fine blogs and tastemakers in the area. And sure, we do fine with our US music, but if that’s all you’re…

There’s something magical that happens when seeing a band live for the first time. For the average fan, seeing an artist perform live has the ability to either a) totally turn them off if the band is terrible or b) suck them into the music even more than before, because the live show is that memorable. Thankfully, seeing the Arkells perform at last week’s SXSW proved to be the latter. Never have I seen a band perform with such high-intensity and infectious energy. Their connection to their audience as well as one another was…

Enter Shikari are hitting the United States and Canada. The group will be hitting the road within a couple of months. Starting at 10 a.m. local venue time on Friday, tickets for the North American tour will be available – though some pre-sale tickets are available through the band’s website. Joining them as support will be Hands Like Houses and The White Noise. Given how electric each band is live, the performances should be super solid. Check out a Facebook post from Hands Like Houses with all of the details…

In less than two months, the Vans Warped Tour will embark on yet another journey around the United States! I know, I can’t believe it’s that time of year again either! While we all are excited to see bands such as Pierce The Veil, PVRIS, and Silverstein, there are a ton of bands fighting for their place on the biggest music festival to tour the U.S. And these bands can be found at none other than the Battle of the Bands powered by Ernie Ball! Each week we will highlight one band in this ultimate battle…
